Sharing and giving away… :)

10.20.08

Hi!

Some holiday cards to share.  These were inspired by cards that my dear Shari Carroll taught at Scrapfest this year.

Regular 2

Snowman

Now… how about two opportunities to win? 

First, check out the Hero Arts stamps being given away over on American Crafts' Blog.  Click HERE.

Second, I have an extra of this great Studio Calico stamp.  Want it? Just leave a comment on this post by Wednesday, October 22nd, 11:59pmEDT and I will randomly pick a winner.  Just tell me something.  Have you rented a movie lately that you love?  Have you found a new great recipe?  Tell me something happy. 🙂

Stamp

Have a great night.

    Hi! My sister-in-law just sent me a link to your blog and said I should check it out because our styles are a lot alike. I was thinking I knew who you were by your name, and then I realized…Oh! I love her! THANKS for all the work you have done over the years!! God bless!

    Oh I love those cards–seriously love them! The foldover front thing is so much fun! Something happy: I just got a shiny new red Blackberry. It’s no iPhone, but it’s definitely waaaay cooler than my old clunker phone, heehee! 😉

    I just bought a dog princess hat for my collie to wear on Halloween—I couldnt wait to show my boys when they got home from school–so cute! They think I am nuts but love the silliness!

    My DH and I rented the movie, P.S. I Love You over the weekend. It is a 4 hanky movie, but really sweet. Even my hubby enjoyed this chick flick!

    The last movie we saw was an indy movie called The Visitor. Like most indy movies, the ending left me wanting more. Then I saw August Rush and liked that one a whole lot! Let’s see…another thing is I made Crash Potatoes tonight for dinner and I loved watching my family inhale them. That makes me happy…watching my family enjoy the food I make for them.

    Love those cards – that fold is so much fun! I’ve had some very happy news in the last few days but can’t tell anyone yet – it’s a secret! But I can share that I got new 6×6 Basic Grey Ambrosia and Urban Prarie pads and they are so great…lucky there’s two pieces of each design – I can save one to look at and still use some on cards!!

    Cute cards! I suggest you rent the movie “Once.” The movie was not big here and the shooting of it was rougher than others, but the story is wonderful & the music is phenomenal! A must see! 🙂

    Not to sound like “debbie-downer” but last week there was an Amber Alert for a 6 year old little boy who was kidnapped in a home invasion/robbery, and I believe he was missing for 4 days or so, & the police didn’t really have any “leads”… so onto the HAPPY part: On Saturday night there was breaking news that he was found walking alone in a residential area, apparently the kidnappers just dropped him off, and a public bus driver called the authorities and helped to return him home! 🙂
    Thanks!

    My kids are goofballs.. I know I have said it before, but I think that it is so good that they love to be goofy kids and not overly serious kids!!!! They make me smile, lots… and their dad is another goober…Tonight he dropped food from his plate on the floor and pretended it was not him!!!! Goof!!! Tonight was just a great night after a super long day..

    Sweet cards!

    We rented Speed Racer over the weekend…great for variety of ages. We also rented War Inc – do not bother.

    Then today we bought Sleeping Beauty and my 3.5 year old son was glued to the tv. Such a great addition to our collection.

    Thanks for all of the inspiration! You rock Jennifer!

    Beautiful cards! I recently experimented in the kitchen and made some Parmesan meatballs. At first I wasn’t sure if I did the right thing since I wasn’t really following a recipe. But to my surprise they turned out to be a hit! Everyone loved them which made me a happy cook. 🙂

    Btw, I’m glad to hear Collin is feeling better and I do pray he’ll continue being well.

    Hmmm…something happy? Well, I’m so glad your little one is feeling better and that you’re able to share your talent with us. I read a lot of blogs each day, but yours is my favorite because your designs seem so “doable”. Now, if I’d just sit myself down and try some of them…but then I’d have to get the cats off of the craft table!

    Love your cards! This week is Red Ribbon Week at my dd’s school. Today was ‘Mix It Up’ day at school meaning the kids wore their clothes mixed up–shirt backwards, two different shoes, etc. Tomorrow is ‘Crazy Hair’ day. I’m the room photo person so it’s going to be a fun week photographing the kids.

    The first three great inventions of the 21st Century: crockpot liner bags: no cleanup! Reynolds Release foil: never scrub a mac and cheese pan again (it all comes off.) Dawn Power Scrub: turns dark brown stuck on crud in your oven or on a baking dish into a gel that a sponge takes off. (None are directly sb-related, but they all free up your time…)
